#1 Adam Parore 96 off 138 vs India, 1994
Trending
The Kiwi wicketkeeper might have climbed up the Mount Everest post retirement but on 28th October, 1994, finding a boundary seemed to be a proverbial Mount Everest to Parore, which he failed to scale. The 23-year-old Parore came in early against India, as he used to do early in his career, and steadied the ship for the Kiwis after they had lost two early wickets.
On the other end, Ken Rutherford enthralled the small Vadodara crowd when he unleashed a flurry of boundaries to notch up his career best score of 108 off just 105 balls. More enthralled was probably Parore, who forgot to score a single boundary in the 180 run partnership with Rutherford.
He would not score any throughout his stay at the crease and it came back to haunt him as he would perish just 4 runs adrift of his maiden ODI century. Parore’s 96 remains the highest total to have not featured a single boundary.
